Geodetic measurements in the Dixie Valley Area

C. A. WHITTEN

TRIANGULATION BRANCH, GEODESY DIVISION, U. S. COAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Abstract

Resurveys made after the 1954 earthquake in the Dixie Valley Area determined the horizontal and vertical displacements which occurred. Triangulation stations on the west side of the fault moved north approximately 4 feet, and points on the east side moved south by a similar amount. Releveling showed a drop and also a tilt of a valley floor.
